Tweets not rendering?

Author	Post
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 7 2022 : 1:19PM I've had two people message me in the past 2 days indicating that embedded Tweets are not rendering properly for them in the forum. Is anyone else having this problem? I am not able to replicate it with FireFox, Chrome or Edge. I don't have access to Safari for testing. [Link]

bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jul 7 2022 : 8:55PM I'm still having the issue. I've tried reloading the page, checking for extensions, checking my settings, deleting cookies and all the other recommended stuff but nothing is working. If a thread has an embedded tweet it never loads and keeps me from seeing the rest of the thread and keeps me from posting in it. It's basically making the Star Crossed forum inaccessible to me because most threads have embedded tweets. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 8 2022 : 3:49PM That sucks. I really would hate to have to buy an Apple product just to be able to debug this. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 8 2022 : 6:23PM For the people having issues, are you using the AdBlock extension in Safari? this info might be helpful too [Link]
Alizee Member Natural beauty + NFT collector 906 Posts 11/21	Posted - Jul 8 2022 : 6:49PM Thing is that it was fine until the last few days. I don't use any additional extensions. Safari content blocker on or off doesn't make a difference. [Link]
bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jul 8 2022 : 7:12PM I don't have AdBlock or any other extensions. Like Alizee this has only started happening in the last few days. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 10 2022 : 7:28AM I'm going to order a MacBook so can test with Safari. I hate Apple products and the Borg Collective-vibe of Apple culture. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 10 2022 : 7:48AM Should be able to work on debugging this next weekend. The new MacBook will arrive late in the week. [Link]
dgscott Member 94 Posts 4/14	Posted - Jul 12 2022 : 2:30PM Have the issue with Chrome running on an iOS device as well as on Safari and Chrome on MacOS. Seems to be something specific to the Apple OS(s), not the browser. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 12 2022 : 4:23PM I think it's part of their privacy protections. I'll be able to dig into it soon. The MacBook Pro M2 I ordered should arrive tomorrow and I should be able to spend some time diagnosing it this weekend. [Link]
Alizee Member Natural beauty + NFT collector 906 Posts 11/21	Posted - Jul 12 2022 : 8:10PM The issue has solved itself. All good, for now. [Link]
bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jul 13 2022 : 5:34AM Seems to be working now for me too albeit a bit wonky in some threads Fingers crossed it keeps on working. Thanks Drew, hopefully you can send your computer back! [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 13 2022 : 9:17AM Strange that it has solved itself! Interesting. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 9:37AM My issue is not exactly the same. I use my laptop (not a Mac) to join in here. I always have to "refresh" the embedded Twitter links. Is there anything I can adjust in the settings to prevent this respectively see the preview immediately when I join the topic? [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 9:38AM Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing? [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 10:34AM It's probably a general warning I could skip with the appropriate settings. But I hadn`t had this issue before you reshaped ADT (?) or someetime this year. I wonder why this warning appears here even for those previews I have already clicked before.

bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 1:25PM ^ I'm on a Mac and have always had this issue but I just thought it was about Twitter having filters or something and not an ADT problem. [Link]

Edited by - Lenny Voyeur on 7/16/2022 1:14:00 PM Click to expand That's a Twitter warning. It has nothing to do with Adult DVD Talk. It means the poster has it marked as adult content. On Twitter, there is an option not to display the warnings. However, you aren't seeing it through your Twitter account so the warning is always there. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 3:41PM I think to avoid this you have to provide Twitter your birthday and specify you don't want sensitive content hidden. [Link]

I think over the course of the past year or year and a half they have been getting much better at automatically detecting adult content and flagging tweets/twitter accounts as 'sensitive content'. They don't want to accidentally trigger some snowflake. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 16 2022 : 7:18PM Thanks for that one. I am not aware getting this warning on Twitter, but I check it. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 21 2022 : 1:26PM I'm realizing now that Twitter has drastically changed the code that is rendered as part of a their Tweet Embed widget. I'm not sure when this changed. There's code in the ADT forum that used to programmatically click the "view" button on sensitive content. That auto-click code stopped working with the new Twitter code. I'll dig into this a bit and see if I can come up with a work-around. [Link]

Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 22 2022 : 1:52PM ^yep, that's exactly my problem here (and still is) [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 22 2022 : 2:02PM The old Tweet rendering system plunked the HTML directly into the page which made it accessible to scripts in the forum. The new Tweet embed features insert an inline frame served by Twitter's servers. The content of that Iframe comes from a non-adultdvdtalk domain which makes it impossible for me to write code that manipulates the content in the inline frame. (It's a security feature built into browsers.) I'll need to look into using Twitter's API directly for displaying Tweet content directly in the forum instead of using their embed widget. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 23 2022 : 9:27AM It would be a great improvement respectively more comfortable if you could see the tweets when you scroll down the page. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Aug 1 2022 : 5:57AM Are people still having problems with this? [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Aug 5 2022 : 2:26PM I still have the problem (refreshing) Edited by - Lenny Voyeur on 8/5/2022 2:27:24 PM [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Aug 6 2022 : 6:15AM I'm talking about the Tweets not rendering/Safari crashing problem. I'm not able to do anything about the sensitive content thing without completely rewriting the Tweet embed system. And what I would end up writing would remove the personalization that's provided by Twitter's code. All Tweets would be rendered as though the viewer does not have a Twitter account. [Link]
bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Sep 4 2022 : 8:33AM Hi Drew, To answer your question, everything now seems fine on my end with Tweets rendering. However I am having an issue with one tweet not rendering in both the Leah Gotti and All Things Lesbian threads and those were the same posts by Ironknights so I'm thinking the issue my be on his end and not on the board's end. [Link]
bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Sep 10 2022 : 9:02AM Actually the problem is back for me So far tweets are not rendering in the Jane Wilde and Gianna Dior threads [Link]
bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jan 29 2023 : 8:55AM The problem is back again. Is it back for anyone else? This time the tweets not rendering causes the bottom of the page not to load so I can't go to another topic or forum. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jan 29 2023 : 10:28AM Do you have a link to a topic where this is happening for you? Not rendering the bottom of the page doesn't sound Twitter-related. [Link]

bumblaster Senior Member 4880 Posts 4/12	Posted - Jan 31 2023 : 6:34AM It's not happening anymore. I don't know why it comes and goes like that. Since the tweets weren't showing up the page wasn't loading completely and the menu bar at the bottom wasn't working. [Link]
morbidthoughts All-Star Member Big cats scare me but... 3627 Posts 1/03	Posted - Apr 26 2023 : 3:30PM Can't seem to use the tweet function without a "[Tweet is no longer available]" . Last night, while operating without sleep, I tried to post a link but used the tweet function instead resulting in several 500 errors because I thought it was a caching issue. [Link]

Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - May 9 2023 : 10:12AM Today I tried to embed a tweet, first one since a couple of weeks and I wondered about this massage. Does it has anything to do with Twitter's new policy or is it really a choice of the pornstar (it's Scarlit Scandal and I have embedded quite a lot of her tweets so far) Sorry for asking, but I only use Twitter to check some news of my favorite pornstars. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 9 2023 : 2:01PM Seems like the Twitter embed API is no longer functional. This could be temporary, or maybe Elon wants us to pay? If this continues I'll remove support for tweet embeds in the forum. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - May 10 2023 : 10:42PM ^thank you. Would be different without embedded tweets here. [Link]

Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 11 2023 : 6:30AM Twitter is a shit show lately. [Link]
morbidthoughts All-Star Member Big cats scare me but... 3627 Posts 1/03	Posted - May 11 2023 : 4:42PM I just don't get the randomness of which tweets work embedded. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - May 12 2023 : 7:29AM ^The Tweet I embedded above from Scarlit Scandal could not be embedded a couple of days ago. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - May 17 2023 : 11:35AM I embedded another of her tweets lately. There seems to be no "guideline" [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 17 2023 : 2:45PM There's a 'new' Twitter API subscription plan available that's only $100/mo. Unfortunately that subscription only supports the new version 2 of Twitter's API. All of the existing Twitter integration uses the older v1.1 API. I'm working on updating the methods that ADT uses to talk to Twitter's API services. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Jul 18 2023 : 3:35PM Thanks for your efforts regarding this. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 19 2023 : 8:05AM I have updated the code that automatically Tweets out new reviews to use the new API function calls. But I have no idea why the forum code is randomly broken. The forum uses Twitter's free oEmbed API. Maybe the oEmbed developer docs haven't been updated yet. According to those docs there's no API account required and there are no rate limits. I'm guessing the random problems with Tweets in the forum is that Twitter is just a shit show lately. I have updated one thing to maybe help accommodate the shit show: the forum will cache a valid Tweet for 30 days instead of the value Twitter returns for cache expiration. This way the forum won't re-check the existence of a previously-valid Tweet for at least 30 days. [Link]
Drew Black broken crankshaft 8009 Posts 9/99	Posted - Jul 19 2023 : 8:10AM I think this is interesting: there are currently 6740 different Tweets cached in the database. [Link]
Lenny Voyeur Senior Member It's the ass, stupid! 8504 Posts 2/07	Posted - Oct 9 2024 : 7:16AM I couldn't embed any tweets during the last 2 weeks. I tried 3 or 4 times. [Link]
